If they are loose in the upper triple tree, you need to simply replace the riser bushings in the triple tree. Look under the triple tree and you'll see either two large bolts or two large nuts. If you take these off, you should see some rubber bushings that the risers go down through. If the bushings are worn or have gotten old and spongy, simply buy some new bushings and replace them. If the handle bars are loose in the handlebar clamp, take the clamp top off and see if the handle bars are knurled or have ridges cut in them. If not, they've put the wrong bars on the bike. You may can make a thin shim and put it around the bars and tighten it up a bit. If this doesn work, replace the clamp and risers.

Good Luck

1984 had 32 degree rake instead of 29. one model had 2 inch over fork tubes. I added extra 6 degree rake (tripletree) and 6 inch over forks. still have the old clamp and fork tubes and would like to know...

You didn't say which model bike had the 32° rake with the 2" over fork tubes. This is what my book tells me for all the 41mm fork tubes:

1949-early 77 FL, FLH Fork tubes - Part #45950-48 length 20"

Late 77- 84 FLH, 1980-83 FLT, FLHT - Part # 45825-77A length 20 1/2"

1980-83 FXWG, FXD, Part # 45417-80 lenght 24 7/8"

This is all the information that I have. Hope it helps.
